perl -> ssh?

[Keary Suska]

IIRC, the second part of the ssh invocation is the command to execute on the
remote machine, so you could do:

$host_str = join( "\n", @Array);
`ssh host echo "$host_str" > /etc/hosts`;

Otherwise you would have to use SCP in SSH2 or interact with ssh as a tty.
IO::Pty or Expect modules from CPAN might help.
